That helps Monty. Guess I am just trying to find reasons not to buy one and hang on to my 750SS (30,000 km and no clutch change). Seems like there are a lot of ways to overcome one of the weak points in the stock Ducati clutches, from new baskets, 48 tooth baskets, Barnett clutch plates (worked well in my 7 liter Ford), etc., etc., but why doesn't Ducati fix it for good. Not whining, just wondering.
As for power, that is interesing as the oil bath clutch should be robbing hp as it wheels about in all that weasel ****. Bloody Italians
